Holy Crap! "Baroni is walking around at a very muscular 230 pounds right now. Although that is more than 50 pounds above his fighting weight of 185 pounds, Baroni does not foresee it as a problem for a June or July fight date."

Is that normal for a UFC fighter? That seems like an unbelievable weight cut.

BECAUSE HE WOULD LOSE.

He's one of those guys who should win every fight but just (almost) always finds a way not to win. It's too bad because the guy is colorful (Jackass) and could be good for MMA (if he was only good enough to put a good string of wins together).

I think Baroni is pretty adept at losing weight. He used to be and did well as a body builder so I think not only would he know what to do but he probably has a natural genetic disposition towards putting on, and taking off pounds when it suits him.
